23%. that is the biggest single-day all ofthis index, going the way back to what happened in the summer. it has a calming effect, if you will, from the boj. yields are on the way down. into when it gets back safe haven, like the yen, six basis points, and why not? it is better than losing money. a lot of these forecasters, if they are correct, that could be 80 quite soon. as for the best-performing market in asia this year, down losses of of 1%, so just about 1% from the start of january. looking back, the nikkei two to five down, the hang seng down over 3%, and let me break this down for you. long story short, every single isck on the hang seng index

falling. , that beingucers said, let me give you an update. this is the ticker. -- it is right here not working. ok. ok. there we go. that should be the biggest drop in just over four years here. there is news here. with thisightly down report from bloomberg. sources have told bloomberg that china is way more measures to plug the different holes that people used to get their money out of china, and one of those buying overseas interests, and front and center one of the biggest insurers if not the biggest in hong kong, and we saw a spike from mainland china with the insurance product in hong kong since september of last year, a big source of revenue there.

a bright spot though, the silver lining, at least, is it is off behind of the day. we were off as much as 10%. 1/5 ofntributes about the decline we are seeing in hong kong at the moment. all yours. rishaad: let's take a look. huge. sherry: yes, they say china is nearing an agreement to buy a swiss pesticide maker for nearly $43 billion. the deal could be released once they release earnings. they are said to have offered a premium to the last close. transformould help into the biggest supplier of pesticides and agrochemicals.

ae state-backed company is on buying spree, boosted by xi jinping's efforts to maintain self-sufficiency. they are consuming more grain intensive meat, and more farmland is being converted to housing and golf courses. and over in japan, nomura is plunging the most in more than four years after posting and 49% drop in third-quarter profit. the company was dragged down by its money-losing business outside japan and set and earnings goal for overseas operations that will be reached later than initially targeted. net income declined to $294 million in the three months ended december, and fees slumped. to stem losses overseas has cast doubts on his strategy of expanding and company such as the u.s. at a time when global market volatility is rising. nomura has retained its global

rishaad: yvonne man is at a conference with our next guest. : yes, we are joined by the intonation finance minister joining us today, and i want to thank you for joining us, finance minister. we have to start off with gdp, expected to slow last year, expected to be below 5%. we continue to see exports driven down by oil, but we do see one bright spot in the currency among emerging markets right now. boost you see ways to growth this year? >> yes. right year -- last year, our growth was slowing down probably to around 4.8%, but at least last year, we can see that

despite these slowing down of our exports, we still have, you know, a good and stable growth from household consumption, although not so much bright but at least investment growth is also promising, so this year in 2016, supported by good monetary policy from our central bank, we hope that we can find another source of growth with a focus on investment. that is why from the middle of 2015, the government is emphasizing on improving the to cut items to make sure more comes to indonesia, and on the other side, we are still trying to spend more from the government to do the capital expenditure in order to boost investment as well as the growth. yvonne: you are talking about

spending and infrastructure. how much do you think that will add to gdp? and what about delays in some of the projects, such as the high-speed rail and the power station? our project in general has been performing much better in terms of finalizing and progressing the project itself through the previous period, and last year, for example, we can .ee 45% increase this year, of course, aside from -- not just the infrastructure, project to spin up the as well as from a sector. we are trying to bring more private sector involvement in. projects, there are that might have experienced delay or some problems, but in

general, there are more projects compared to the very few problematic projects. yvonne: we have seen such a volatile market, but the currency has been on this rally since the fed rate hike. see at strengthening more? we are near 13,700, and i think back when we spoke to you, you said that was a fair value. >> yes, below inspected around 3.55%ich is last year, then the central bank has the room to cut the policy and by cutting 25 basis points, so i think it is a sign that our economic growth is trying to catch up, you know? and then on the other side, of course we are still maintaining stability. although we already see some growth, weeeding up

still put the emphasis on the although itecause has happened in december, the fed rate hike, it may happen again sometime this year, but we already see part of the, you know, the hysteria about the fed rate hike before, so that is why i think the currency has been well performing, because then during the hike in december, everything was ok. there was not much problem with that, so in 2016 come we expect the currency to be quite strong thatrobably still around rate, but, of course, it depends on the situation. fact --how much in

impact are you going to be seeing in 2016? how have you factored that in? we have some kind of markup from 2013. i think the market has priced in the possibility of the fed rate than the real hike that happened in december. it means the stability in the , andt might still be there although there might be another hike, but looking at what is happening in the u.s., for i cannot makeugh any good prediction, but at least they are still worried about the sustainability of the recovery, so they might still need time to do another hike. even on: we have seen tax revenues in indonesia have fallen the low target, and you have tax amnesty laws coming out

this year. see them bring offshore funds back to indonesia? happening?that what signals do you see there? >> last year, tax revenues were at a new record because non-island guests -- the revenue breaking the 1000 mark. , despite the slowing down of the economy in 2015. it means the tax potential is there, and you know that our tax ratio is 11%. still so much is room to improve. yvonne: is that not the problem of tax evasion though? low becauseion is there is so much tax evasion, so as a result, there are a lot of

money residing somewhere outside and it is quite clear. i'll ratio is close to 100% in most of the banks in indonesia, but elsewhere, it is only 50%. -- the thee problem community, the problem is the supply after the liquidity is not because the money staying in indonesia. it is staying outside, and it happens with our exports. they used to do the export area we had a good statistic of export, a good statistic of growth, but the money is still not here. and to answer your question about bringing the money back to indonesia, in 2008, globally, they had the information implemented all over the world. that means, according to the

secretary-general, nowhere to hide. so if you have the money or assets unreported to our tax authority, then you have to the normalt but with tax rate, which now is 25%. it is just money for the tycoons. so it is better for them to participate in tax amnesty, depends on rate their intention to bring the money back or just declaring, so the area will be much lower than the 25%, so it is the best time in earth to bring the money back to indonesia after declaring your assets somewhere in the global. yvonne: thank you. i appreciate your insights, and let's hope things look better for indonesia in 2016. thank you very much, finance minister, and i will send it

experts, you know, open up the doors, and this is something dot takata really needed to to be more transparent, because the way they handled this airbag crisis, particularly in the early stages of this crisis, was kind of closed doors and were not really receptive to pressure to really take this airbag and expand it.y only recently have they even admitted that there was a defect with their devices. and the american enduring love of cars and trucks have made one carmaker their best january in a decade. a snowy january did not stop american car buyers who really were out in force, were today? david: they were, and given the snowy weather we saw across much of the united states, and the sales numbers tell the story.

we saw better-than-expected gains for carmakers like nissan, general motors. they reported surprised sales gains where in some cases declines were expected, and declines at ford and torreon and honda not as bad as expected, so generally, this one surpassed expectations, but the concern is, and one of the reasons why you are seeing the automaker shares down, is the fact that analysts leave shares might be peaking. what about the rest of the year? did it: we may see another record year. this year, it is expected to be nearly 18 million, some estimates higher than that, so another record year despite concerns about near-term sales. pressure, down for a third straight month. thank you very much coming up, nintendo asking

at what is driving that revenue, this is on the back of strong performance of our data services. our data services have grown by 17%, and we have been seeing sequential quarter on quarter growth. i am going to put some perspective to this data. at the start of the year, we thought we would see some sort of softness in our voice business, but we had been working and investing and growing our data services, and that strategy has panned out very well for us. ebitda you look at the margins, we have seen an expansion, which are over 20%. again, at the start of the year, there was some kind of speculation about the 20% margin levels, and in q3 itself, we have been able to achieve that. data services --

sorry. go ahead. just looking at where you are getting that demand from, about three quarters of your demand is coming from overseas. which markets are very strong for you, and which ones are found to be a bit wanting? tata to isuld know, a global player. good growth coming across markets, and this is primarily from our enterprise business, which has grown by 21% year on year. i would just like to add a little flavor of what is driving this demand. this is on the back of some of the new service offerings that we have provided. for example, a collaboration and indication service. these have been growing by 16%, 17% year over year on the back

of some recent product launches that we have done. services,our global like 80%. we have seen growth. others have grown by $.50 it and as i mentioned earlier, we have a composition of both global and indian enterprise customers. we are actually leaders in the indian enterprise market, so both growth is coming not only from demand coming from customers but because of the excellent service offerings that we are providing with the continued investments that we are doing in our product and the backportfolio on of our excellent global network. absolutely, but let's just look at 2016, the year ahead of us right now. how are you seeing things? inwe did see some volatility

2015, but despite that, we have been growing. 2016, all is well. we are continuing to see technology demand. as a matter of fact, we are or ana field trial offering on connected services technology,ed on and this is a connectivity platform that is going to connect all the internet of things, and it is expected that these devices by 2020 are going to be twice the number of human beings on this earth. now, given the kind of investments that we are doing, we think that we are well-positioned to show steadfast, predictable, and healthy growth in 2016, and this will again be on the back of our data services offering. how do you see things going in india? it is still a quarter of your

market. the economic outlook there, and how does the weakness in the currency play into this? market, it will still be one of the highest growth markets, and given that our revenue shares were 26% and it offers hugenk opportunities for us. we are continuing to invest in this market. when it comes to the currency, we do get some kind of benefit, but it does not have an overall impact only because we mentioned we are a global company, and our people and assets reside -- 76%y, and our revenue of our revenue is outside of 26% comes from inside india, so we are well ahead, but nothing really that flows in. thank you very much,

with our next guest. stocks we are seeing down, the dow falling 300 points overnight and oil back down to $30 a barrel. who better to talk to than peter oppenheimer? peter, thank you for joining us. it seems that we are heading back to levels or the volatility of like january 4 once again. what have we lost, and about this premium? peter: well, most of the qe premium has disappeared, and europe is a case in point. things are back to where they were. i think the markets are grouped in fear about a global economic situation and the consequences of that, and that is really what is creating this volatility. : yes, but this is against they said.rd

the rally lasted two days. our investors putting less faith into central banks in terms of guiding the markets? peter: i think there is more the central banks can do. i think investors are worried that the urgency to do more is just a reflection of the concern about a lack of growth. ultimately, i think growth will be more solid than the markets are currently pricing it at, and opportunities,e but until then, until we really get a stabilization in things like the oil price, in the rate of growth in places like china, people will be unconvinced that it is time to really take advantage of those potential growth opportunities. : so as we go into february, do you think it will ramp up even more? peter: well, i think there is a bit of a vacuum, as you say, in terms of policy support. really, the support from here has to come from the data,

confirmation that the jobs market made strong in the u.s., for example, would be important here. some stabilization in oil prices that we do expect to get, albeit later this year, and some stability in china growth or at least the momentum of growth i think would be pretty crucial, but without obvious near term policies, i think that is really going to be where the market will be. you talk about momentum in china. we just got this disastrous week with pmi coming out from the mainland. services, we did see continued expansion, but is that going to offset the old drivers of the economy, or do you still see there is going to be this really big tug-of-war and transition phase for china? peter: well, i think what is reflective with china is global. there is a big split between the opportunities for consumers generally, where conditions are improving but real incomes are

beginning to rise, low commodity prices, and in many places, fiscal policy is finally easing, and by contrast, the manufacturing and industrial economy, like the structural headwinds are really very intense because of the fourth capex, butng cuts in also cuts in capital spending in emerging economies, so that is put between the relatively strong consumer and the weaker industrial economy. i think it still has to play out. some sectors are we would need to of work, but what about possible strength and green shoots in 2016? peter: are our markets where we still have our preferences. we do have this towards domestic consumers, and labor markets are improving. wages are finally picking up after a long time of austerity, and you are getting the benefits

of lower commodity prices feeding through, and there are opportunities in this segment of the market that would generally be much more skeptical, particularly around industrial capex and commodities, and it played out last year, but still, i think it is ongoing, and the valuations still really have not got down to stress levels because of the underlying earnings, which continued to weaken. yvonne: in your notes, you mentioned this crisis that went from the u.s. to europe and now to emerging markets and the falling oil commodity prices. in this last wave, how do you see things playing through? are two scenarios. stagnation or normalization. how far away from normalization are we? peter: let's be clear. the wave started with the u.s. housing market but but on with the zero rates and kiwi and then

went to europe and the banking sector and ultimately through a complex process, you got through zero rates and qe. the focus has shifted to emerging markets principally to because of commodity prices but stretching out to focus on leverage and debts. you probably need to see a policy adjustment that will ultimately convince markets that a mores a potential for sustainable and stable period of economic growth to come. in our view, the markets focusing on the deflationary growth shocks that may come from the weakness in the yen, we think they are probably exaggerating that, but it will take some time, just as it did in europe and in the u.s. in the generatephases, to that stability after a period of policy and adjustment. yvonne: meanwhile, we are just going to storm through the volatility. peter oppenheimer joining us from goldman sachs, a global
